I'm back in 1990

Chapter 801: You're hired

After listening to Wang Lan's explanation, Huang Xiaochuan understood that this family had made plans before returning, perhaps having had this idea after their last return.

He nodded approvingly: "I see! It seems Brother-in-law Qiliang has extensive experience in the semiconductor industry. The company he interviewed in Wuxi must be a well-known name in the field, right?"

Because her husband had always worked in this industry, Wang Lan was naturally familiar with it: "Yes! The company Qiliang interviewed at in Wuxi is called 'Huahong Semiconductor.' It's said to be very large and has great development potential."

Huang Xiaochuan was certainly familiar with the name Huahong. Although he didn't know much about semiconductor wafer technology, his past and present lives combined made him very clear about the importance of the semiconductor industry to China's future. Otherwise, he wouldn't have strongly supported Zhang Gaolei in founding Huaxin, nor would he have allowed his companies to help invest in domestic semiconductor companies.

It's like fighting a decisive battle. Everyone contributes money, strength, and manpower. All Huang Xiaochuan can do is contribute money and strength.

He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Huahong is good, but it is in Wuxi after all. Since your family has decided to settle in Shanghai, if you get the job, your brother-in-law Qiliang will have to travel back and forth. I think Huaxin is more suitable for him, so your family won't have to live apart."

Wang Lan sighed: "That's what I think too, but the decision isn't in our hands. Fortunately, Wuxi isn't far away. In the end, it depends on which company is willing to keep Qiliang and what kind of treatment they offer. We'll have to consider all factors."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled, turned to the old man Wang Deyi, and even helped him rearrange the thin blanket covering his legs.

"Sir, do you have anything to add?"

Although Wang Deyi was old, he was not senile. He naturally understood the unspoken meaning in his beloved student's words: his precious student wanted to lend a helping hand.

"I have nothing to add. We'll wait for Qi Liang's application results before making any further statements."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled. The old man's meaning was very clear: let Yu Qiliang try on his own first, and if he really couldn't do it (of course, that was impossible), then Huang Xiaochuan would step in to resolve the matter.

"Alright, then I'll do as you say."

The conversation between the two left Wang Lan and her two daughters completely bewildered. However, Yu Qiaozhi and Yu Yazhi quickly realized what was going on. They exchanged glances and figured out the general meaning behind their uncle's words.

The reason is simple: this "richest uncle" has immense power, and a job application like his father's is nothing to him.

This delighted the two sisters, who knew that with this "uncle" around, they no longer needed to worry about their father's job search.

Huang Xiaochuan chatted with the family and the old man for a while. When it was almost time, Huang Xiaochuan got up to say goodbye: "Grandpa, Sister Lan, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. I'll come to see you again another day, Grandpa."

Wang Deyi waved his hand: "Go on, go on! Be careful on the road. Lanlan, can you see him off for me?" Wang Deyi knew that his student affairs were busy, so he was very understanding.

"Sigh!" Wang Lan immediately agreed and escorted Huang Xiaochuan all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Huang Xiaochuan stopped and said to Wang Lan, "Sister Lan, it's a good thing you're back. I can tell that Grandpa is very happy with your decision. When people get old, they just want their loved ones by their side. If you encounter any problems in life, be sure to tell me."

Wang Lan nodded gratefully. She could feel the weight of Huang Xiaochuan's words, because the person who spoke to her had immense influence. She thanked him, saying, "Thank you. I won't stand on ceremony with you. If there's anything I need, I'll definitely tell you."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite with me. Alright, go inside! Spend more time with the old man in the future. I'm leaving!" After saying that, Huang Xiaochuan waved to Wang Lan and got into his car and drove away. Wang Lan watched him until the car was out of sight before returning to the courtyard.

Back with her uncle, Wang Deyi, the old man was chatting kindly with his two grandnieces. Seeing them return, he asked, "Xiao Chuan is gone?"

"Let's go!" Wang Lan sat down in the rattan chair next to her uncle.

At this moment, the old man spoke up and asked, "If Qiliang calls you later, ask him how the interview went."

Wang Lan nodded: "I understand, I'll ask."

Wang Deyi already knew the outcome in his heart. After so many years of mentorship, he knew his student too well. Now that he knew Yu Qiliang had applied for a job at Huaxin, the matter was already settled. But he wouldn't tell his niece Wang Lan these things; he believed they would find out the result soon.

Just as the old man had suspected, Huang Xiaochuan was indeed on the phone with Zhang Gaolei.

Just as the old man had suspected, Huang Xiaochuan was indeed on the phone with Zhang Gaolei.

"Old Zhang, I know a bit about the situation. Here's what we'll do: you keep the person, but the due diligence process still needs to be carried out. We can do both at the same time without delaying either."

Zhang Gaolei was naturally pleased with this, after all, an expert like Yu Qiliang, who has rich experience and has been exposed to advanced bit-process technology, is a treasure. Perhaps UMC has many such people, but for Huaxin, which has only been established for a few years, such talent is extremely rare.

Zhang Gaolei readily agreed: "No problem, I'll have someone call him right away!"

This matter was decided over the phone in just a few words. Some people might think that such a simple thing shouldn't be made so complicated. In fact, in the high-tech field, there is a term called "talent trap". These people do have skills and experience, but they are often bound by various agreements. For example, if a company in the industry hires an industry expert and brings about a breakthrough in the company's technology, it will be followed by various patent infringement lawsuits and non-compete agreement disputes, which will definitely make the company very anxious.

That's why Huang Xiaochuan told Zhang Gaolei that the due diligence should continue, just to be on the safe side, so that if anything happens, we can take precautions in advance.

After ending the call with Huang Xiaochuan, Zhang Gaolei immediately asked his secretary to find Yu Qiliang's job application materials and called Yu Qiliang using the contact number on the application.

At that moment, Yu Qiliang was waiting in the train station waiting room, preparing to go to Wuxi.

He saw an unfamiliar number on his phone, but he still answered the call.

A warm voice came through the phone: "Is this Mr. Yu Qiliang?"

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, so Yu Qiliang asked, "Ah, it's me. And you are?"

"We met this afternoon. I'm Zhang Gaolei from Huaxin!"

Yu Qiliang was taken aback at first, then quickly greeted, "Oh, it's General Manager Zhang! Hello, hello!"

"Mr. Yu, you don't need to be so polite. I'm calling you at this time to let you know that you've been hired by us. Please come to our company tomorrow morning to discuss your salary and benefits."

Yu Qiliang was overjoyed; he hadn't expected to receive a reply so quickly: "Really? Then I'll head over tomorrow morning."

"Alright! Then I'll wait for Mr. Yu at the company."

After ending the call, Yu Qiliang immediately went to process the ticket refund. Then he called Huahong's HR and canceled the interview over the phone. Although they still strongly invited Yu Qiliang to come, the CEO of Huaxin had already personally called to hire Yu Qiliang, which caused Huahong to lose an opportunity.
